After a knee-jerk reaction of skepticism, Dr. Richard Beck and
his wife, Jana, share how the Enneagram has had a profound effect
on their family. In today’s show, we talk about the disjoint of how
we conceive ourselves and how we behave on the ground, how
personality and virtue cut across Enneagram types, and the unique
contribution of the fluidity of the Enneagram.

Richard Beck, Ph.D. is a research psychologist,
professor, and award-winning author. His books include:
Unclean: Meditations on Purity, Hospitality and Mortality
(2011), The Authenticity of Faith: The Varieties and Illusions
of Religious Experiences (2012), The Slavery of Death
(2013), Reviving Old Scratch: Demons and the Devil for Doubters
and the Disenchanted (May 2016), and his newest book, which
just released in November, Stranger God: Meeting Jesus in
Disguise. To learn more about Richard, visit https://experimentaltheology.blogspot.com
